I'm not really in a position to know, because nobody in our group was Japanese. Memorials for historical soldiers are by and large for ones who fought the Japanese at one time or another, because that's who they've usually fought.

I don't know about how Japanese people in Japan feel about Koreans, but a lot of my university age friends from Japan who are either here as international or exchange students have a lot of Korean friends and there are no issues between them. It'll be interesting to note though when I got to Japan (as I will probably make one or two of my friends go to Korea with me). I do know most of my Japanese and other friends, including my boyfriend, have been to Korea though. I can ask them though. I only know a few Japanese-Canadians who would be a bit older though.

My dad is Scottish and my mum is Danish, and I've lived all my life in Scotland apart from when I came here on exchange.

In my experience here, Japanese and Korean people seem fine together. I know many of both, and they're friends with each and I've never witnessed any problems. Then again, my point of reference is university students, so I can't speak for wider society.

I think that the biggest Japan-Korea problem was post-war WWII. By now, a lot of the animosity is gone.

Japan effectively annexed Korea from China after her successful 1894 war, so the problem goes back a long way. I was just curious. I wasn't really expecting anything, much like the French get on fine with the Germans now and any animosity will be embedded in a few fantical haters most likely. You know, the sort of idiots who rant in badly spelled comments on YouTube.

Yeah, I think a lot of it is confined to YouTube crazies and the occasions where there is legitimate backlash against the unfortunately frequent offensive public statements made by Japanese politicians.
